How growth drives the cell division cycle
Dr. Andreas Milias-Argeitis (RUG)
Cell growth and division are fundamental processes, whose proper coordination is essential for cell viability and the health of an organism. However, we still do not fully understand how this coordination arises. In this project, we will investigate how the proteins that regulate cell growth are also able to affect key events of the division cycle. To this end, we will generate a detailed map of these interactions via a combination of single-cell experiments and mathematical modeling. Our work will contribute to the understanding of fundamental cellular processes which are ultimately linked with human health.

About the NWO Open Competition Domain Science-M
M-grants are intended for realising curiosity-driven, fundamental research of high quality and/or scientific urgency. The M-grant offers researchers the possibility to elaborate creative and risky ideas and to realise scientific innovations that can form the basis for the research themes of the future. There are three categories of M-grants: M-1 (one scientific position), M-2 (two scientific positions in collaboration) and M-invest (investments) that are assessed in competition with each other.
In this M-round (package 21-5), a total of 72 grant applications were evaluated, of which 40 M-1 proposals, 31 M-2 proposals and 1 M-invest proposal. The NWO Domain Science Board decided to award 10 M-1 proposals and 9 M-2 proposals.Producent / auteur NWO URL https://www.nwo.nl/en/news/nineteen-innovative-research-projects-launched-through-open-competition-domain-science-m-programme?utm_source=tripolis&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=enw_nieuwsbrief_2023_03_09 Personen Andreas Milias Argeitis
